Yes, this book is bulky; however, I do not understand how some of the other reviewers were surprised by this. Dr Seuss books are not incredibly short and there are 13 of them in this one book. I bought this to sit out on my son's dresser in his One Fish, Two Fish themed nursery. It looks great sitting out. I have read most of the stories from it to him and have never had an issue holding the book and having him in my lap. The collection of stories is great.

ALL the best Dr. Seuss!! I loved reading Seuss to my daughter and son! The fun rhyming tales make it as enjoyable for me to read as it is for the kids to listen to. Plus, almost every tale is packed with a valuable life lesson.

I bought this book to read to my new grandson, and this one book has all the best Seuss stories in a single hard cover. All the pictures are still there, plus little bios and background information on the life of the author and the stories he created.

Our little niece was celebrating her first Christmas, and we felt the need to provide some traditional gifts to get her started. Naturally, she won't be reading even Dr. Seuss any time soon, but it does give her parents a great go to book so that they can read to her.

Like many of the other reviewers have mention, this is not a book for little hands to hold. It's thick and heavy, not designed for children. However, it IS the perfect solution to keep on the nightstand for the parent to share and read from. The illustrations are great, too. If you're buying this for the child to read, I'd hesitate. If you bought it as we did for the parent to read from, you've found a great, cost-effective solution.

Bought this right before Christmas this year during an Amazon Dr. Seuss sale. Paid just over $11 for this, and it's Ah-mazing! The book is huge, a hair larger than 9.25 x 12 inches and 1.25 inches thick. It's a little larger than what would be comfortable for a lap reading book, as it will definitely take 2 hands to hold while reading it due to the size.

I was really excited about this book, but it didn't meet my expectations. The main problem is the format. Many of the illustrations lay in the middle of the book, so they disappear into the crease or look cut off. It also squeezes two pages from the original version into one page here, so it doesn't flow as well and the illustrations are much smaller even thought the book is so big.
